In order to reach this target, the utilization of liquid bio-fuels and biomass is crucial. From earlier studies it was concluded that use of bio-energy would play an important role in replacing fossil fuel in ‘back up and spinning reserve’ diesel generators that constitute an essential part of the RE power systems on the island. Also in isolated areas without grid connection or other renewable energy potential, the utilization of bioenergy could play a role in the provision of electricity. Finally, biofuels could replace fossil fuels currently used in daily means of transport (cars, motorcycles and boats). Since the start of the project, several studies have been carried out, characterising the energy demand and supply on Sumba, and assessing the potential of different renewable energy sources: Winrock International assessed a range of renewable energy resources, including hydro, PV, wind, (small) biogas and biofuel. KEMA carried out a study on grid-based renewable energy supply, producing several scenarios with different renewable energy sources. A study by Jacqueline Vel and Respati Nugrohowardhani on bioenergy resources other than manure resulted in an extensive overview of potential crops and crop residues that could be used for bioenergy production. A household biogas study was carried out by Sundar Bajgain of SNV, assessing the potential and constraints of small biogas for households. FACT Foundation was commissioned to assess the practical potential of producing energy from selected organic waste streams. The study aims to assess and rank several waste streams as to their suitability to achieve the objectives of the ‘Iconic Island’ concept at Sumba. The assessment is split in two parts: 1. A desk study to develop a more fact based research proposal. All relevant options will be assessed, and based on qualitative (and where possible quantitative) criteria and the preference of Hivos, the 3-5 most promising options will be selected for further assessment. 2. Field research in Sumba. During the research, the technical, organisational and economic aspects of the selected options will be assessed and case studies / project concept notes will be prepared. This report is the result of the first phase. It describes the desk study that was carried out in cooperation with Mr. Petrus Pandanga, a local consultant from Sumba. Based on the outcome of this report, a decision will be made with Hivos on how to proceed in the second phase. 1.2 Objectives The objective of the desk study phase is to make a selection of potentially interesting waste-to- energy concepts that can be assessed further in a field research phase. 1 Key questions are i) which of the options are relevant for Sumba in the first place; and ii) which of the relevant options have the largest (technical / economic) potential for implementation, with respect to resource availability, conversion technologies and the nature of energy needs (electricity / mechanical energy / fuels; decentralised or centralised). 1.3 Methodology The desk study has been carried out as follows: 1. First, a review has been made of earlier studies carried out (mentioned above) in order to determine the energy and resource context on Sumba. Also, some external experts were consulted. This resulted in a “long list” of potentially applicable energy concepts. 2. Together with Hivos staff in the Netherlands, a “short list” of concepts was selected for further investigation. The selection was based on the views and experience of Hivos practical issues. 3. A local consultant on Sumba was contracted to gather further information related to the concepts in the “short list’. Based on this information, calculations were made of the technical and practical potential, as well as first estimates the production costs. 4. Based on the outcome of the assessments, a recommendation was made on the concepts that could be pursued further in a field mission. 2 2 PRELIMINARY SELECTION OF ENERGY CONCEPTS 2.1 Review of literature 2.1.1 Resources Resources discussed in previous studies The presence of the following biomass feedstocks was indicated in earlier studies conducted within the Iconic Island project: 1. Coconut shells [1]: potential resource for gasification (on/off grid). There is no trade yet, and limited utilisation. 2. Kemiri shells [1]: potential resource for gasification (on/off grid). There is apparently some trading in this resource at limited prices (approx 20 USD/t off-farm). 3. Corn cob [1]: potential resource for gasification (on/off grid). There is no trade but occasional utilisation as a last resort for replacing fuelwood. 5. Sugar cane bagasse [1]: not yet existing but sugar production is being developed on Sumba. For large scale on-grid production using conventional CHP (steam cycle). Not available throughout the year. 6. Cashew apple [1]: potential resource for bioethanol production. There is no trade in apples, it is mainly waste. Seasonal availability, high water content and quick degradation of the fruit make large centralised production difficult. 7. Rice husk [1]: conditions on Sumba were indicated to be less suitable, especially because of the seasonality of supply, the dispersion of the fields, and alternative uses of rice mill waste (animal feed). 8. Animal dung [2]: potential resource for biogas (small scale off-grid, possibly as diesel replacement in existing diesels). Available in richer households (limited amounts) and village stables; larges herds are grazing. Might compete with household biogas initiatives being developed on Sumba. Resources not yet discussed in previous studies The following biomass feedstocks have not yet been included in the earlier studies but might be available on Sumba: 1. Cashew nut hull: potential feedstock for gasification. Unknown if this is available (centrally). 2. Waste vegetable oil: potential feedstock for biodiesel. Might be available from resorts, restaurants. 3. Market waste: potential feedstock for biogas (on/off grid). It can be used as co-substrate in dung-based biogas systems. Can be combined with production of organic fertiliser (compost). 4. Hotel kitchen waste: potential feedstock for biogas (local for kitchen cooking or diesel replacement; when collected for on/off grid electricity). 5. Organic fraction in MSW: feedstock for biogas (on/off grid). Can be combined with production of organic fertiliser (compost). 3 2.1.2 Supply opportunities On-grid electricity Several on-grid supply options were assessed by KEMA [4]. Main conclusions relevant to bioenergy: 1. There are considerable wind/hydro resources that have very low costs (5-10 USc/kWh); it will be difficult for bioenergy options (typically >15 USc/kWh) to compete with this. 2. There may be possibilities for biogas or producer gas as co-fuel in grid-connected diesel backups, which would reduce (bio)diesel requirements. 3. When storage hydro is not considered, larger biomass installations (biogas, gasification) could be an option. Sugar cane bagasse has the disadvantage of not being available throughout the year. This could be overcome with alternative fuels during the off-season (as is being done on Mauritius, with coal) but the required amounts would be enormous. Current grid-connected diesel plants are listed in [6]. Most sets are in the range of 250-500 kVA, with a small number of larger units (upto 880 kW). Average utilisation rates range from about 2000-5000 h/a (full load equivalent). Average fuel consumption is reported at 3.45 kWh/l diesel1. Average production costs at medium voltage level is 0.27 USD/kWh, of which 75% (0.20 USD/kWh) is diesel cost. However, a price level of 4500 RS/l at larger power stations was reported in 2013 [7], i.e. 0.47 USD/l or, at 3.45 kWh/l, 0.14 USD/kWh. Off-grid electricity 1. There is a considerable number of isolated diesel sets (>100) in operation [4] that could be co-fuelled with biogas or producer gas. 2. There might be opportunities for small- or medium scale biogas or gasification systems in isolated grids. Current off-grid diesel plants are listed in [6]. Most sets are in the range of 20-40 kW, with a number units of 100 kW. In most cases, average utilisation rates are in the 2000-3000 h/a (full load equivalent) range. Average fuel consumption is approx 3.45 kWh/l diesel2. Average production costs at low voltage level is 0.34 USD/kWh. Diesel prices in isolated areas vary from location and season [7]. In East Sumba prices of 10-15 thousand RS/l (1-1.5 USD/l) are reported in dry season; in the wet season, prices can go up to 20-25 thousand RS/l (2-2.5 USD/l).

    Capital town Dorkas waits in front of her house in Lawonda for the small buss that col- lects travellers to Waikabubak. It is just after sunrise. She wants to go to town to visit the hospital. She has been feeling very tired during the last several months with fevers every two weeks, and the nurse in the village clinic had not given her a diagnosis and the right medicine. An older woman joins Dorkas in the buss; she is going to see her daughter in town. Two young girls get on board. They have attended their uncle’s funeral in the village, and now they have to hurry back because they only had permission to be absent from secondary school for three days. At the next corner, a middle-aged man car- rying a small pig steps in. He desperately needs money to pay school fees for his son. In town he will get a better price for the pig than here in the village. Descending to Anakalang the road is rather bumpy. The surface had been rehabilitated last year, but there are already large holes in the middle of the road. People blame the contractor, who surely used the cheapest materials and put the rest of the money in his own pocket. The driver puts a new tape in the recorder and cheerful Christian pop music provides enjoyment for the passengers. Waikabubak is the capital town of West Sumba. In 2002 it had 23,000 inhabitants, which is only about 6 per cent of the total population of this District.

Made up mainly of limestone and sedimentary rocks, Sumba’s topography con - sists of numerous hills and a plateau covered with grassy savannah interspersed with valleys hollowed out by erosion where gallery forests grow. The climate is hot and arid, except during the rainy season that lasts from December to March. With fewer than 600,000 inhabitants, Sumba boasts one of the low - est population densities in Indonesia. The island is divided into two administrative districts, West and East Sumba; the east has greater ethnic, cultural, and linguistic unity than the western part. 2 The town of Waingapu is the administrative center of East Sumba; it is also its Fig. 1.

  • LOVESTRAND, Joseph. 2021. 'Languages of Sumba: State of The
    Languages of Sumba: State of the field Joseph LOVESTRAND SOAS University of London This paper reviews the state of documentation and description of the languages of Sumba, an island located in the province of Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) in Indonesia. Sumba is home to a population of over 800,000 people. The languages of Sumba can be divided into eight or more distinct languages. Language documentation and description in Sumba began in the 19th century with the arrival of the Dutch. The most well-described language of Sumba is Kambera, spoken by 150,000 or more people occupying the eastern half of the island (Klamer 1998a). There is much less documentation and grammatical description of the languages of West Sumba. with the exception of two recent MA theses. There are also many word lists, as well as orthographically transcribed ritual texts included in publications by anthropologists interested in this aspect of the culture. Video documentation of the languages of Sumba is almost completely lacking. Language vitality in Sumba remains relatively high, however, there are signs of a possible shift to Indonesian. This increases the urgency of the need for language documentation and description, as well as investment in programs that facilitate ongoing local language use. 1. Background This paper provides a concise summary of the current state of published, academic knowledge of the languages of Sumba.1 Figure 1 shows the location of the island of Sumba in the province of Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT), Indonesia. Sumba is south of Flores, and accessed by flight via Bali (from the west) or Timor (from the east).

  • Predatory Voyeurs: Tourists and “Tribal Violence” in Remote Indonesia
    predatory voyeurs: tourists and “tribal violence” in remote Indonesia JANET HOSKINS University of Southern California Tourism has been theorized in a new ethnography of modernity, stressing the museumization of the premodern and its production as spectacle. In this arti- cle, I explore the voice and perspective of the “tribal culture” recently ex- posed to a new type of gaze. Tourists are perceived as predatory voyeurs on Sumba, a once remote area now receiving increasing numbers of foreign visi- tors. An idiom of visual consumption encodes a critical awareness of global inequities in access to and use of technology, and a history of changing self- perceptions. The cameras that every tourist brings to capture images of head- hunters and primitive violence become the very emblems of the exotic vio- lence that they are designed to capture. [tourism, photography, cultural identity, Eastern Indonesia, violence, headhunting.] Fantastic stories about foreigners have been common in Indonesia’s eastern is- lands for some time. For years, the most common fear was of white headhunters, who would come in the dry season and raid villages to steal children. The children could be sold as slaves or beheaded and used to fortify the foundations of large construction projects (dams, hospitals, cathedrals, or government offices). Ethnographic reports of these fears include Haddon’s account of white headhunters in Sarawak in 1894 (Had- don 1901:173–175); Tsing’s (1993, 1996) and Drake’s (1989) reports of government headhunters in Borneo in the 1980s; Barnes’s (1993), Erb’s (1991), and Forth’s (1991) accounts from Flores; and Needham’s story of a “penyamun scare” in Kodi, Sumba in the 1950s (Needham 1983).

    Tribal Battle in a Remote Island: Crisis and V iolence in Sumba (Eastern Indonesia)1 Jacqueline A. C. Vel 1. Bloody Thursday On November 5, 1998, there was an outbreak of violence in Waikabubak, the district capital of West Sumba. The next day CNN reported: "Tribal battle in Eastern Indonesia kills 19, police say." This news message followed: Thousands of rival tribesmen fought a pitched battle with spears and knives on a remote eastern Indonesian island, killing at least nineteen people, police said on Friday. The fighting on Thursday in the western part of Sumba, a barren and inhospitable island southeast of Bali, had been brought under control with police reinforcements, Colonel Engkesman Ehilep, the chief of East Nusa Tenggara province, said. He told Reuters that nineteen people were killed in the fighting between members of the Loli and Wewewa tribes but had no word how many were injured. Ehilep said about 3,000-4,000 people were involved in the battle attacking each other with rocks, knives, and spears. Tension mounted in the area on Wednesday after rumours spread that one tribe was planning an attack, he said. Ehilep said about 150 policemen were usually posted on the island and they had been supported by reinforcement of about sixty more troops. Some one hundred more troops were on their way to Sumba. 1 The draft of this article was presented in the workshop "Violence in Indonesia: its historical roots and its contemporary manifestations/' Leiden University, December 13-15,2000.
